Impact of Lifestyle Aspects On Animal Cruelty
Why we as investors
are to be blamed for
animal cruelty?
+To run a business, it needs
money from investors. In return
they give a monetary share as
profits
+Investors are doubly associated
with the business
+They make the business
possible
+They prosper from its profits
Understanding the
Impact of our Investments
Comparing Food with Investments
+ A non vegetarian eats meat of around
175 animals in a year
+ Comparing it with a person investing in
meat processing companies like
venkys ltd or simran farms which kill189
crore animals annually. How ?
+ India produced ~ 4.7 million tons
of poultry meat in 2021. This number
increases by 6% every year.
+ Avg weight of a chicken farmed
for meat is ~ 4 kg. 62% of meat is
produced from a chicken, hence 2.8
kg meat
+ 4.7 millions tons of meant means ~
189 crores chickens killed
* poultry meat production in 2021
* avg weight of chicken
Comparing Woolen
Clothing With
Investments
+ If a person wears woolen clothing
he/she would be responsible for
shearing and killing of 5
sheep's annually
+ Comparing it someone who invests
in companies like Arvind Ltd or Bombay
Dyeing which are responsible for cruelty
towards ~ 75 million sheep's annually.
+ India has the 3rd largest number of
sheep in the world and
ranks 6th amongst clean wool producer
countries
* India's sheep population
* Wool producer worldwide rankings
Blood Money
+ Our investments are our passive
income
+ By sponsoring (investing) companies
to growth their businesses we are
allowing them to kill or cause cruelty
to more and more animals
+ We prosper from these investments
through dividends/profits which
makes our money blood money
+ If we don't eat non-veg food we
shouldn't live our livelihood with
such blood money too

How to do Veg
Investments
Challenges
How to identify businesses that cause no or least animal cruelty?
How do I invest in them? I am not an investment professional
Can I invest in mutual funds/bonds/stocks/fixed deposits?
Would I get lesser returns by investing this way?
Mutual funds sahi
nahin hai* !
+ As an investor we do not have any control
over which company gets funded through
our money.
+ Our money could be invested in companies
under animal husbandary, poultry,
pharmaceutical, leather industries etc to any
business that can make profits
+ The only factor taken into consideration by
the fund managers to decide where to invest
are the financial indicators like PE ratio,
intrinsic value, annual reports etc
* most funds do not qualify as veg
Mutual Funds = Blood Money
